Brilliant today, no way to drop him at this rate! What's Yobo going to do?

Neiler · January 19, 2009

Way to take your chance lad!

Compete for a place that's what they're all supposed to do.

Baines MoM imho.

Robert Jarvis · January 19, 2009

Baines for me also. Showing that we do have a LB.

Fantastic. Been calling for him to have a run in the side for some time. The lad is quality

Good going forward, and very solid defensively. I was impressed with him today.

Played his heart out, dived into last minute tackles, calm under pressure, whips in a good ball, kept Kuunt quite all game....be hard pressed to beat a game like that.

All English back 4? Yes please

Classy performance, superb player. It's great to see him getting a run in the side.

McBain · January 19, 2009

I had to look away with Hyppia on the back post and all he has to do is side foot it.

And theres Baines from absolutely nowhere taking it off him.

He's proper calm too. See when they were building pressure, ball landed to him in the box, Kuyt chasing him, he just did a sly step over, moved past him and got rid.....

Class.

TX Bill · January 19, 2009

I was extremely impressed with the play of Baines today.

Rock. Solid.

Bainsey · January 19, 2009

brilliant, and a great example of a local lad throwing every bit of his body on the line.

He celebrated like a mad hatter when we scored with a cut face and black eye.

paulbrown · January 19, 2009

best game hes had in a blue shirt hope this can continue now because when we signed him i remember thinking that 5 million was a bargain

well played bainsey lad

Cena · January 19, 2009

Just got back from the match, [Poor language removed] brilliant. Bainsy was by far our best player tonight, the back 4 were brilliant even though we conceded. I'm knew my faith in Bainsy tho would pay off, different class as you've all said.
